saooo Seed Wheat.

There is but one way to have good
seed wbeat and that is to grow it. We
gave our plan in 1884, and after three
Years added experience know OF no
improvements % suggest. Here 1t is:
Select an acre or two, according to
your needs, of the very best wheat
land on the farm. If it is clover sod,
30 much the better, and II you can
sna,e four or five loads of coarse ma
nure to be plowed down, better yet.
Plow now. and leave nothing undone
10 nut the surface in the best possible
condition. Let tie harrow, roller cul-
iiyator and plank draw follow each
other at such short intervals as may be
necessary to make a perfect SEED Ded,
not more than two or three inches
deep. The patch being small, this
may be done at odd hours mornings or
evenings, and the time not be missed.
AS sowing time approaches, apply
ak or eight loads per acre OF good fine
stable manure and twenty-five bushels
of lime. and with the last workings
thoroughly mix this in. A week or
SO before sowing time don't SOW too
earlv-land prepared in this way will
"push thingspJ mix together 200 lbs:
of fine bone, and as much unleached
ashes, dampening them a little to
keep them from flying, Tor use IN the
drill II found too damp to work well
| in the drill, mix little wheat bran
with it tor a drier. Now you are
ready to sow, and we are going to
aS,n over the matter of variety merely
stopping to say, select whatever sor'
YOUR own experience or that OF your
neighbors has proven most profitable
in your own locality.
Il See to it that your seed is pure anc
clean if YOU have to hsndpick 1t. Ihi'
| will not he very much OF a job II yo'
follow our next advice, which is II
sow but half bushel per acre. Iha
sounds radical, we know, but tor thi
once we want 10 ask you to be radical
inst nv way of experiment. Bet tn
drill 10 sow but one peck per acre
, and then d Ill in both ways
Now we want you to try thI
, nlan on our recommendation.
You are afraid to risk it with so smal
a ouantitv of seed, increase this q
much as YOU like, but by all mean
' grow a small patch OF seed wheat, an
tbe chances are that alter lew year
' your crop will all be fit for SEED an
salsble at advanced prices.

an enthusiastic patriot, and OF real ability.
He was a neighbor of Gen. Grant in Galena

man OF vehement expression soldier by force

A Composite Class Photograph.

The present seniors in Harvard college
have wisely decided to have composite

viii be very interesting, and, if the prac-
tice were continued in succeeding years,
as, for example, on every fifth or tenth
commencement, or upon the occasion Of
the class dinner, at intervals of five or
ten years, the result would be a series OF
photographs of great value. If a young
man just graduating needs any s1bering
down treatment, which IS a doubtful point
in these days of moderate expectations, it
might be applied by showing him what he
is almost sure to become at 40, 80. 80, 20,

rnriry or RIVER waite.

River water contains the salts, gases
and organic matters found in rain, well
spring and cistern water, and in addition,
usually holds sand or clay suspended in it,
giving it decided color. The grand adj
vantage it has over well water lies in the
fact that it is continually agitated and ex-
posed to the air. The gas oxygen is being
continually absorbed and gives life to the
fishes it contains. and at the same time
combines with organic matter dissolved or
held in suspension, destroying its capacity
to do harm. Many of the disease pro-
ducing microbes are killed outright when
brought into contact with oxygen. They
can flourish only when the oxygen they
require for their development is already
fixed in combination with living materi-

After the Battle.

Perhaps the most shocking sight of the
battlefield the day after the battle was the
evidence Of rascaity which the helpless
dead afforded. The writer has seen many
say-yet he never saw one dead body on
the field the day after the battle that all
its pockets were not turned inside out.
There were some soldiers, especially when
late in the war the number of substitutes
had become large, who were degraded
enough to rife the dead, but most Of the
villainoUs work was done by the camp
followers, the horde Of hired teamsters
and other civilian employees and attaches
of the arrny.-T. F. Galwey in Chicago
